Gabe: Scifi Alien Invasion Romance (Hell Squad Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Anna Hackett (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 1,532 ratings

In the aftermath of a deadly alien invasion, a band of survivors fights on…

Hell Squad soldier Gabe Jackson has lost everything that mattered, including his twin brother. Now he just wants to kill the invading aliens anyway he knows how...and he knows a lot of ways. Previously part of a secret Army super-soldier project, he's faster, stronger, deadlier, but on the inside, he's a mass of rage, and pain, and grief--all waiting for a chance to drag him under.

Until he finds her.

Dr. Emerson Green had her life planned: thrive in the high-stress environment of the ER, build her career, have a great life. Then the raptor alien invasion happened. Now she's the head of the medical team for the secret base sheltering human survivors outside of Sydney. She's also in charge of patching up the soldiers who get too close to raptor claws. She'd never planned for this...and she'd never planned for sexy, brooding Gabe Jackson.

As Emerson uncovers clues to the aliens' secret plans for the human race, she and Gabe collide in a storm of volatile passion. But the brooding soldier is as stubborn as he is silent, and Emerson knows she must convince him to reach out to her, because Gabe is a ticking time bomb about to go off.

Note to readers: This is action-packed, post-apocalyptic military romance with battle-hardened soldiers fighting off dangerous aliens...and risking it all to save the women they love.

    Gabe
    Hell Squad book # 3
    By Anna Hackett

    Gabe Jackson still hasn't quite recovered from the loss of his twin brother and with his enhanced abilities Hell Squad counts on him to be focused on the mission. Now the aliens are taking people and experimenting on them trying to merge their DNA with theirs. With the location of their labs can the squad rescue them or will it be too late?

    Dr. Emerson Green knows what it's like to be taken by the alien raptors and she's determined to help any of the people from the lab if she can. But when things get hot Gabe starts taking risks so Emerson steps in and lets him know that if they are to survive they must work together. But what is the end goal of the aliens who now has terrorized Sydney for 3 years? Can the teams stop them?

    I'm looking forward to Reed's book next.

    This story picked up two weeks after the events of book two. Of all the characters who have appeared in this series so far, Gabe was the most mysterious—the quiet one, unexplainable abilities, intimidating and with an obvious soft spot for Doc Emerson. Since the death of his twin Zeke in the first book, he’d been taking more and more risks to the point of being a risk to his team.

    My heart went out to Gabe ever since he'd lost Zeke and ended up spiraling. His pain and anger were understandable and relatable, but the saddest thing was confirmed in his secret trysts with Emerson, something that had been going on for two months. Even though it was always consensual between them, it was far removed from anything romantic. He used her to forget, and she allowed it, hoping that he'd come around. That's not to say she was a doormat for unrequited love.

    All that aside, Gabe really was a great character especially when he showed the caring softer side of himself. Despite his attraction to her, he felt that he would just mess up her life if he let her let him in. He considered himself anti-social and a killer, something the United Coalition had made him when they'd undertaken experimental enhancements. The first time he left bruises on her after rough lovemaking horrified him. He obviously had less faith in himself than Emerson did.

    Emerson was a tough cookie. Smart, feminine, driven, passionate and compassionate, but still lonely. Though still traumatized by her time in captivity by the raptors, she was determined to overcome the nightmares and fears, putting others ahead of herself. She realized she'd been selfish by not pushing him to open up to her and relishing in their late night encounters. The push ultimately leads to him walking away, but it provided both of them the necessary space to come to terms with their issues. When one of their missions went wrong, Gabe made a bad judgement call that nearly killed his team. The little progress he'd made was thrown away, Emerson included. But don't worry, she didn't let him get away that easily. The sex scenes were very hot!

    The suspense and overall alien plot continued on its upward incline of horrors. A vicious attack on Emerson inside the walls of Blue Mountain Base by a rescued survivor sparked the horrible realization of what the aliens were up to with their human captives. And like all the other heroines before her, Emerson had to accompany Hell Squad on their dangerous mission, which helped her face down some fears. Roth, leader of Squad Nine made an interesting connection with one of the rescued humans. She was a tough fighter and something she said implied she knew about the impending invasion. I can't wait to read that story! But first, there was a chapter from Reed's POV setting up his story next. Another excellent story in this series.

    There weren't as many errors as in preceding books, only one stand out that I noticed: “Goddammit it, no.”

    When Gabe saw her dressed to kill (him), he noticed “she was wearing her lab coat”. Then he noted further “her top—and there wasn’t much of it—was red and strapless.” How could he see it was strapless? Unless her coat was hanging off her shoulders which would look silly rather than sexy.

    Anytime Reed was mentioned it got repetitive with his past as a SEAL and his love for the outdoors.

    "A voice that sounded like gravel." Aside from the wording, it seems every male has a "gravelly" voice in this series.

    Loved it! What a fun ride. I loved the way the tough rugged male MC had been crushing on the female MC for a while. This has some of my favorite tropes. Age gap (he's older), boss (he's her boss), post apocalyptic done right not to mention she's incredibly smart and brave and feisty and when they come together sparks really do fly.

    This book is very low Angst, but is well written like all Anna Hackett books. Not a typo in sight. I'll be continuing the series though with some hesitation. Anna Hackett is often very good at luring me in at book 1, only to do a wash and repeat for every other book in the series. Fingers crossed I'll get some diversity and won't be forced to read the same book over and over 🤞🏽😬

    This series of Sci Fi romance is phenomenal! I Love Hell Squad.
    This is Gabe’s story. He lost his brother Zeke in Marcus’s story. He always was quiet. Now even more so now that Zeke is gone. Gabe isn’t quite human. He was a volunteer for some military experiments. So he has increased strength, eyesight, hearing, everything. He was taking too many chances since Zeke died. Dr. Emerson Green tried to get him to talk. She took care of him when he came back bloody and wounded from patrols. They are having a secret affair. He visits her during the night and then leaves afterward. He wants to avoid attachments. But as much as he tries he can’t stay away.
    In this book, they find more labs where it seems as the aliens are transforming humans into themselves.
    They find a lab filled with tanks filled with a liquid and humans. They try to pull out as many humans as they can. The ones that they can’t save, well… They need Dr. Emerson to help decide which ones can be saved. When they get the survivors back to base and settled, Emerson is attacked by one of the victims. Gabe comes in during the attack and kills the creature, but Emerson is badly injured and at deaths door.
    This is a continuing series of the earth being invaded by aliens who want to take over. I must say all of the Hell Squad are hot, dangerous and lethal men. I totally love these books. Sci Fi romance at its best!
    I was given a copy of this book by the author for an honest review.

    Gabe is zichzelf niet meer nadat zijn broer omkwam bij een missie van Hell Squad. Hij zoekt zijn heil bij dokter Emerson Green. Waarom zei het toe laat dat hij alleen voor de seks langs komt is mij een raadsel. Maar de worsteling van Gabe met zijn gevoelens en van Emerson met zijn trauma's en stiltes zorgen voor een interessante dynamiek die boek spannend maken.

    Love this series facing adversity in times of hardship, humanity saving our existence against alien invaders. Each of Hell Squad ream member us strong in their action to fight, push on to find a way back to eat they had.

    Gabe a super enhanced soldier who lost his twin brother Zeke ,he struggling emotionally with his loss but doesn't want to talk with his colleagues about feelings Dr Emerson Jackson, the sole Dr at base has seen his pain, but he secretly goes to her room at night to ease his pain through her body. Not ideal way to cope with grief, but they both accept it.

    Gabe misses his brother dearly as he grew up without love from his parents, zeke being his twin, his sole reliant companion, and a reliable friend.
    They find survivers and work out what aliens are doing, changing humans into Gizzida. Humanity will prevail with Hell Squad in charge!

    Another excellent read! I was really looking forward to read Gabe's story, and as much as I liked it, I didn't love it as much as the others. And I was Team Gabe right from the beginning!
